"Mastodon has detected botting malware on your PC that is congesting the Mastodon network. All affected accounts will be suspended within 24 hours unless removed. _https://REDACTEDLINK"

@Welshsprout Yep, that's the one. Hopefully your instance admin has already blocked it (but if not, report it and block it yourself).
